Israel's education minister has been taught a lesson
Opinion: In light of the announcement that children will receive the COVID vaccine in schools despite her best efforts, Yifat Shasha-Biton must engage in some introspection after she almost put our children at risk by objecting to the inoculation being administered in school hours
(23:36 ,08/19/21)
Israel's politicians are fiddling while the south burns
Opinion: Gaza incendiary balloons have set Israeli fields on fire and disaster is just a matter of time, but our leaders are too busy squabbling to even pretend to care about people or long-term solution for battered and scorched region
(23:37 ,08/22/20)
Who will help Israelis survive virus and economic crises?
Opinion: The people were promised strong coalition to tackle coronavirus outbreak and ensuing financial crisis, but it seems the government and the two premiers at its helm are too busy milking any benefit they can at the public's expense
(14:56 ,06/25/20)
Fear and loathing in Israel's Health Ministry
Opinion: As the country regains its bearings following the coronavirus outbreak, the oft-overlooked Health Ministry - neglected for many years under Yaakov Litzman - is now at the center of a shameful display of political bartering
(16:44 ,05/09/20)
Israel must head for the coronavirus exit in an orderly fashion
Opinion: It is time to weigh the risks of isolation against its benefits, because the current stalemate can only end in an explosion of chaos and public unrest, especially as the prime minister and president are happy to break the rules that everyone else is following
(23:45 ,04/17/20)
...And on the fourth (Election) Day, God said, 'don't go to the polls'
Opinion: After 3 nasty elections, Israeli politics finds itself back in square one with an endless list of parties and all imposing tit-for-tat embargoes on each other; but if our lawmakers' stubbornness does send us to the polls for the fourth time, we must protest with our votes or lack thereof
(23:40 ,03/04/20)
Hurry up Liberman, it's time
Opinion: If he is the kingmaker he claims, the Yisrael Beytenu leader needs to make a decision about the future of the country and save us all from this interminable political odyssey
(22:36 ,11/09/19)
Gaza conflict has no magic cure, whatever Israel's politicians say
Opinion: From Netanyahu to Bennett, Gantz to Barak, everyone is willing to use the years-long conflict with Hamas to build themselves up and tear their opponents down - but where would that actually get us?
(00:06 ,08/20/19)
Israel Police powerless in the face of organized crime
Op-ed: The shooting of two different prisons in the space of five days indicates that internal terror is being waged against the security services in the country, and innocent people are bound to be caught in the violence sooner rather than later.
(07:43 ,11/26/18)
The saga of Edri's appointment as police commissioner
Op-ed: The Goldberg Committee decided Moshe 'Chico' Edri must undergo a lie detector test before assuming the position of the police commissioner, which is a surrender to the populist demand. The committee's endless righteousness reduces the chances to appoint good people to senior positions.
(00:14 ,11/23/18)
Now they remember
Op-ed: The recently released data on the drop in IDF recruits' motivation to serve as combat soldiers cannot be a surprise to the IDF. This time around, instead of blaming it on changing attitudes in Israeli society, it would behoove the army to follow through on the benefits its fighters deserve.
(23:45 ,08/19/17)
A disgrace at the Knesset committee
Op-ed: We used to have a unique code of manners toward bereaved parents, but it seems that for the sake of politics, it’s okay to settle petty accounts in front of people who have paid an unbearable price.
(19:04 ,04/22/17)
It’s not the flotilla, it’s Gaza
Op-ed: The women’s boat to Gaza is another unpleasant and inconvenient reminder that we cannot keep talking about tunnels and rockets as if that’s the entire deal while starving a population and preventing a way out of the strip.
(23:47 ,10/06/16)
Is there a solution to Europe's wave of terrorism?
Op-ed: News commentators claimed this terror attack did not surprise the Europeans, which begs the question: If this is how they handle an expected attack, how are they going to handle an attack that catches them by surprise?
(14:41 ,04/01/16)
A desperate war for our future
Op-ed: How is it possible that this despicable gang of Jewish jihadists, celebrating a wedding while repeatedly stabbing the heartbreaking picture of a murdered Palestinian baby, is one of our own?
(23:10 ,12/25/15)
It takes two to end the third intifada
Op-ed: Like with the Second Lebanon War in its day, it takes time to internalize things and admit that what we are seeing is indeed a third intifada.
(14:10 ,09/18/15)
What was Netanyahu thinking when he kept fighting Obama?
Op-ed: As a political strategist, Israel's prime minister should have realized that he was fighting a lost battle once the nuclear agreement was signed, and that an Israeli victory in Congress would have been perceived as a putsch.
(23:40 ,09/10/15)
Leaders' excuses won't rewrite history
Op-ed: Nine years after the Second Lebanon War, its three architects – Ehud Olmert, Amir Peretz and Dan Halutz – are still trying to shift the blame elsewhere.
(19:55 ,05/15/15)
It's not compassion, it's extortion
Op-ed: United Torah Judaism's impressive achievements in the coalition talks have nothing to do with benefitting the other, unless the word 'compassion' only applies to the party's voters.
(00:01 ,05/01/15)
The IDF has warned us about the next Lebanon War
Op-ed: The top brass has been quite clear: The next conflict with our northern neighbor will mean 1,500 missile strikes a day, and no Iron Dome to save Israel's citizens.
(23:01 ,04/05/15)
Keep Lieberman out of Defense Ministry
Op-ed: A defense minister must be a person who understands what an army is all about, who doesn’t talk about occupying Gaza or sending IDF to show Lebanese what we're capable of. He must also be someone the prime minister trust.
(23:43 ,03/28/15)
'Concession document' is a beacon in the dark
Op-ed: If this were a sane, less violent election campaign, Netanyahu's secret peace offer could have actually been seen as a sign that not all hope is lost.
(00:00 ,03/09/15)
A promising strategist in the Defense Ministry
Op-ed: Unlike Ya'alon, the 'outstanding soldier' who 'no one takes seriously,' Lieberman will seat Nasrallah and Haniyeh on a tiny stool and invite cameras to show the world who's boss – just like his former deputy did to the Turkish ambassador.
(23:53 ,02/11/15)
Jerusalem must be divided, now
Op-ed: Israelis must admit that the dream of a united city has produced bad fruit. Admit and separate. A tall fence might create good neighborly relations.
(14:41 ,11/22/14)
Shalit deal was inevitable
Op-ed: Release of kidnapped soldiers, alive or dead, has been part of Israeli ethos for decades.
(10:28 ,06/25/14)
Don't dismiss Yitzhar settlers as 'errant weeds'
Op-ed: Young woman who supports assaulting and even killing IDF soldiers is not just 'one of a few psychos,' as those downplaying the issue claim.
